EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR LEED v4 AIR TESTING UNDER THE NEW STANDARD
SGS GALSON CAN HELP YOU MEET THE NEW STANDARD
If you’re ready to meet the new LEED v4 standard, the SGS Galson LEED v4 indoor air quality testing kit is everything you need to move beyond the old 2009 standard and comply with the new one. And we’re ready to help you comply, every step of the way. Some of the major changes are:
- To qualify for LEED v4 Indoor Air Quality (EQ) Credit, building owners must meet a new set of criteria, including a comprehensive list of specific VOCs that need to be quantified in addition to total VOCs.
- Labs will no longer be allowed to analyze for formaldehyde using TO15 evacuated canisters or TO17 (thermal desorption tubes)
- 4-PCH is no longer required
- The IEQ credit is now worth 2 points!
The solution?
The SGS Galson LEED v4 single kit is designed to be re-used through multiple zones in a building. This means you do not have to rent duplicate instruments, which greatly reduces your cost per sample. And shipping is included!
With LEED v4, you not only get all the necessary equipment and testing capabilities, you also get the expertise of SGS Galson’s laboratory professionals who will help define your testing needs and assist with the implementation of your LEED IEQ management plan.
More details and a complete listing of contaminants and their methods are here.
